It's a buyers market. Got the trailer decked out with 42ft of E-Track, 110 electrical, flourescent interior lighting, quartz halogen exterior work spot lights, tons of cabinets, all LED marke/running lights and electric hydraulic landing gear all for $26k. All I need is to have an awning installed and put a generator and air compressor in it. I saved a ton by going factory direct, most of these trailers are built in Elkhart, IN and South Bend, IN which is only about 125 miles from my house so it makes it pretty easy to go pick up and when you do you get wholesale pricing.

Here's my other hauler and trailer, unfortunatley the hauler is too long to put a big enough trailer behind that would hold two cars, the hauler is about 38 ft and I would need at least a 36 ft trailer so I would be rolling close to 80 ft overall....the DOT and state police frown on rigs that long.

. I registered for the Chicago wannagofast event this week as well and they do have a fb page and they post info daily as well as post pics of participants cars etc.

crap how did I miss that one...

They don't understand power to weight, and they do think they're the $#@! when I say race my "Cobalt". So now, I'm putting 500 or 550 on my car.

its awesome to see that your cool with running anyone. We need more people out there like that!

he's not pulling your chain. The big HP supras that have shown interest or stated they were going, have yet to actually pay. So they are yet to be on the list

not too surprising, we are already starting to see cars show for txtk

bahahah We ran the RV with trailer at timmayfest 2 years back, and I might have been the one hanging out of the side with a bottle of vodka. Anyone that knows us, can tell you that is totally out of character for us...

That's a good price for that level of trailer. I'm looking for something simple, light, and a value for my Cayenne to tow especially with it looking like I will have to make some events far out of California this year.

Should be able to pick up something decent in this market. Would be nice to have a diesel though.

Just got off the phone with one of our local sponsors (Independent Detail). He has quite a few guys coming in for detail work this week, and several have stated they were bringing him payment for a spot at the event. So hope to add some more fun cars to the list in the next couple days.

Also, our most likely scenario for food is looking like a simple big grill for food for the day. Burgers, dogs, etc with chips and drinks... like a big family/friends BBQ day at the park or something. Other options include a couple different vendor trucks (taco/hot dog). Any thoughts or opinions on the matter, feel free to share.

Trailer is sweet, Jim - congrats. But that diesel dually with the Allison trans is the $#@!. Will pull that trailer loaded to the gills no problem. Gonna look BAD ASS when that $#@!er opens up with not one but two black series inside lol. You need to move to LA so you can blow your money faster buddy

Im pretty simple when it comes to food, all of the above works for me.

Ya, the 6.6 Duramax and the Alison 1000 is the best towing set up available however the Ford F 450 was my first choice based strictly on looks alone but there was only one available in the entire country and it was an ugly maroon color. I already ordered the Banks Engineering ram air box, the top of the line Bully Dog programmer, some nerfs, BMW goosneck/fifth wheel flush bed mount and wheel shopping as we speak. Trying to locate two matching Honda Ruckus scooters for pit bikes. Should be a decent set up when its all done.
